WARNING! READ THIS BEFORE USING YOUR LSG SNAKE

Guidelines For Proper Installation And Use Of Lewis “LSG SNAKE” Rope & Cable Connector Grip

1. Safety is always No. 1. Make sure no one is under the line as it is being pulled through the blocks and crown. DO NOT stand below or near the drilling line under tension, severe injury or death could occur.

2. Be sure that the right size range grips are being used for the line or rope being pulled. For example, for 13/8” drilling line, use the LSG 1 - 11/2” snake. When pulling a larger line with a smaller line (replacing the smaller with the larger), make sure the smaller line has the correct size grip and that the new larger diameter line has the correct size grip as well. LSG snakes are available with any required size range on either side.

3. Make sure the cable is clean and free of grease and oil in the area that will be loaded into the LSG snake. A high grade degreaser and heavy duty disposable towels are recommended for this purpose.

4. When loading the cable into the grip, be certain the cable is inserted all the way into the grip until the grip is fully loaded (into the plastic boot area below the pulling eye of the grip). Also examine both grips for cable abrasion or broken cables.
   An LSG snake showing any signs of cable fraying, broken cables or distorted hardware should be immediately discarded and replaced. Inspect the LSG Snake Grip prior to each use.

5. Once the snake is loaded properly, Band AND Tape (use electrical tape) over the tail end of each grip using a BAND-IT® brand banding tool. Apply a Second Band AND Tape 4 to 6 inches apart from the first.
